Texas Democrats Running to Oklahoma

51 state Representatives (Democrats) fled the state of Texas to Ardmore, Oklahoma to
break quorum and prevent the Texas House of Representatives from voting on a
redistricting bill (which the Democrats would lose). They've been camping out at a
local Holiday Inn for most of this week and making a nice little spectacle of themselves.

A lot of words come to mind. Sore losers. Chickenshits. Pussies. I understand that
they have *serious* objections to the redistricting bill, but this was the wrong
way to fight it. Many thanks to the governor of Oklahoma for not granting Texas
state troopers the authority to arrest them and bring them back to Texas. (The same
thanks also should go to the governor of New Mexico, but it would seem that none of
the errant Democrats ran into that state.) I sincerely hope that someday the state
of Texas can repay the favor in spades.
